Enjoy this honest/transparent song from Matthew West. Many times when we are asked How are you? Our answer is mostly: I am fine. Thank you. TBH, there are times when I am not fine yet I answered, I am fine. Let us "come as you are" to God, the author and perfecter of our faith.
Matthew 11:28 New International Version (NIV)
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Lyrics
Lie number 1 - you’re supposed to have it all together And when they ask how you’re doing Just smile and tell them “never better” Lie number 2 - everybody’s life is perfect except yours So keep your messes and your wounds And your secrets safe with you behind closed doors Truth be told The truth is rarely told I say, "I’m fine, yeah I’m fine oh I’m fine, hey I’m fine" But I’m not I’m broken And when it’s out of control I say it’s under control But it’s not And you know it I don’t know why it’s so hard to admit it When being honest is the only way to fix it There’s no failure, no fall There’s no sin you don’t already know So let the truth be told There’s a sign on the door saying “come as you are” but I doubt it If we lived like it was true every Sunday morning pew would be crowded But didn’t you say the church should look more like a hospital A safe place for the sick and the sinner and and sick and the scarred and the prodigal Truth be told The truth is rarely told Am I the only one who says... Can I really stand here unashamed And know that you love for me won’t change? Oh God If that’s really true Then let the truth be told
